10 TERRIBLE Video Game Levels That Took Away Your Powers

5. Mountain Fortress - Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow

Final Fantasy XV Noctis
Konami

In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow's chapter four area Mountain Fortress, the player will find themselves confronted by the mischievous Chupacabra, a deeply irritating little imp which immediately steals all your magical items and skedaddles.

Though you're still an able enough fighter without these accoutrements, your double jump and dash abilities are taken away as well as, most crucially, your ability to heal.

To get your wares back you need to chase down the Chupacabra, which only requires a few minutes of backtracking...if you know where you're going.

But if you don't, it's easy enough to get turned around and caught with your pants down in a battle against the nearby cave troll.

Mercifully, the Chupacabra gives you your equipment back without incident once you catch up to him, though you'll likely just wonder why the developers sent you on this wild goose chase in the first place.
